A new computational model of the brain based closely on its biology and physiology has not only learned a simple visual ...

A new study reveals how biological branching networks use surface geometry to shape blood vessels, brains, and plants.

The new model developed by Flatiron Institute researchers proposes that biological neurons have more control over their surroundings than previously thought, something that could be replicated in the ...

Scientists have created a novel organoid model of the human brain that contains astrocytes -- which have been excluded from other models thus far -- to study inflammation in diseases like Alzheimer's.

The spread of tau protein aggregates in the brain—a process that drives cognitive decline in Alzheimer’s disease and frontotemporal dementia—has been studied with a model that incorporates human ...

The findings, published in Nature on July 19, shed light on potential neural mechanisms involved in working memory and decision making. "Our study is a step toward thinking of the brain not in terms ...

Human induced pluripotent stem cell (iPSC)-derived motor neurons (in green) co-cultured with iPSC-derived astrocytes (in red). [VIB] Amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), also known as Lou Gehrig’s ...

Fixing the balance of a single brain circuit erased anxiety and social deficits in mice, revealing a powerful new target for ...
